Hello and welcome back to BYC!

Greens and veggies are wonderful additions to a birds main diet if fed in moderation. Make sure the birds are on a good formulated poultry diet first, and extras as a small treat.

Welcome to our community!

As the others have said, fruits and veggies are great for them, but you still want them to eat their regular feed. I'd let them peck at the veggies for a short time and then remove them from the coop. If you aren't already, maybe you can start composting with the whatever the chickens aren't eating. I would eliminate the scratch from their diet. If they're already getting treats daily or almost daily they don't need any extra treats.

I wouldnt give your hens those treats every day as then they wont have a balanced nutritional diet.
Once or twice a week it should be ok though
